Common Irrigation Challenges

Many homeowners have challenges with their irrigation systems. Use the table below to identify more common irrigation issues along with suggested solutions.

Issues	Image	Suggested Solution
Leaning sprinkler nozzle		Straighten sprinkler nozzle
Plants block the sprinkler nozzle		Trim plants or add a riser before the sprinkler nozzle.
